QuickJack with MME

[ORG]

Anyone have and use a QuickJack with their MME? I have a model that has a 5000 lbs weight capacity and I feel like my 4X is cutting it close. Would love to use it for suspension work though, as it’s far superior than just a jack and stands.

I have one too, but haven’t tried it with the MME. My gut tells me it would be fine, but use some axle stands too just in case. And make sure the 4 lifting blocks are on the correct jack points of the car and not on the battery rails.

I have something similar and lifted with no issues - sorry no pictures of it actually in the air.

It works great This is the 7K but if you have the SR you would be fine. If it's extended however it might be pushing it as its a hair under 5K.

Thinking about getting one of these, any additional experiences? Wonder if the TL or the longer TLX model would be the better choice?

Some people are worried about the 5000 lb model being close to the weight of the Mach-E 4X, I think it will be fine. The QuickJack lifts are designed with a minimum 1.5x safety factor according to ANSI/ALI standards. That means the 5000 lb model has demonstrated it can lift 7500 lb safely. In fact BendPak has tested it to over 20,000 lbs. Worst case the hydraulic pump isn’t strong enough to lift it and it will stall, but there will be no damage done.

Wow it’s pricey. What’s the advantage of those over a jack and jack stands?

Easy lifting process.

I've used the QuickJack 5000# model on my ICE Mustang, my wife's Volt, and my mom's Lincoln MKZ. It works flawlessly for tire changes, oil changes, suspension work (replaced all the struts and shocks on the Mustang coupe), and brake work. Takes a little time to get the two jacks positioned just right and the pucks at the right locations, but I find it very robust and safe when set up properly. Looking forward to lifting the new MachE when, um, when I actually own a Mach E....

I use my 5000SLX all the time for the Wagon and the SO's car. It's so much easier than jacks/jackstands. Without the Quickjack this was my process:

1. Use Jack#1 to jack up on one lift point to get access under the car
2. Use Jack#2 to jack up on rear center-body liftpoint to get two wheels off the ground
3. Remove Jack#1. Put jackstands under rear lift points. Remove Jack#2
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for front.

The caveat to this is if I forget to do things right, I could trap a jack under the center lift point when I set it down.

With the Quickjack it's a 2-step process:
1. Setup Quickjack. Place under car
2. Lift

FWIW, I got mine from Costco, who often run good sales on them.

With the quick jack, do you need any lifting picks or similar for the Mach-E? Can you just use the standard quick jack out of the box with no additional accessories?

The Quickjack comes with hard rubber jack blocks that work perfectly for the MME. I actually use those blocks with my regular floor jack as well when I use that for the MME.
